Special edition with a print run of 3,000. Each issue was stamped with a serial number on the top right corner inside of the cover.

*The Tick first appeared in the two serially numbered special editions. These comics were sold direct to fans and never distributed through "standard" channels. These super-rare (and valuable!) comics have been reprinted in their entirety in The Tick Reprise Special Edition #1 & 2 (April & July 1996.) [sic] The Reprise issues have the extra outer covers.

The first two issues of The Tick introduce The Tick and tell the story of his meeting-and battle-with The Caped Wonder (aka Clark Oppenheimer), the original super-hero protector of The City! At 31 pages, the story in The Tick #2 remains the longest single Tick tale. This issue also introduces the "Ignore This Van" vehicles which may be apparent in recent issues of Tick Big Blue Destiny. *Source: The Tick: A Comic Book History, The Tick The Luny Bin Trilogy #0
